or a singel 580 GTX 3072DDR5

560ti in sli ??


 
Solution
The EVGA 590 has a higher factory OC and they have a lifetime warranty once you register. I would definitely go with the EVGA one.

1200w PSU? Why so much power, are you planning on running 3 GTX 580s?

Anyway, for BF3 I have read a lot of threads where the 560 Ti is simply unstable for some reason, but for some others it works fine. I can't really find any good benchmarks comparing the 560 Ti vs. the 580 on Ultra at 1080p. Also, SLI and CF is still somewhat shaky in BF3, but it probably will be sorted out with drivers soon. As of right now I would advise a GTX 580 with a good cooling system over the 560 Ti if you want to avoid any problems and ensure smooth gameplay. My GTX 580 running at 910mhz gets 55-60 fps average on ultra which I feel is the sweet spot. Examples of GTX 580's I would get are MSI Lightning, ASUS Direct CU II, and Galaxy Accelero.

will i can spend 750$ on grapich card wich means i cant get water cooled so yah that means the 590 is Over power? so yah BTW on the EVGA thears is classfied with extra GDDR5 so wich one should i pick and what GTX ur useing 1.5gb or 3gb?

and if i get a EVGA GTX590 will it run better then 3 in sli 560 ti 1gb each or 2gb 560 ti ?

GTX 590 is very good but it is pricey. There's a few routes you could go with $750:

1.) GTX 570 SLI
2.) GTX 580, and SLI later
3.) GTX 590

With the first, GTX 570 in SLI will be a great setup for 1080p but it's not as future proof since it only has 1.25gb. The second option is get a single GTX 580 now and if it's not enough for you get another one later. Third is to get a GTX 590 and not worry about it anything.

I have the 1.5gb version, which will do fine at 1080p for a while (hopefully).

Personally, if you have the cash to get a GTX 590 I would just get it and not worry about anything. With 3GB of VRAM it is definitely future proof, and it will crush BF3 on 1080p and even run it decently at its highest single monitor resolution.
